pains about the chest and sides,
and sometimes in the back.
They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi-
ally in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling ike Il heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit Of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while n
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after n few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be-
comes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebod-
ings. There is a eiddiucss, a
sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up sud
denly. The bowels become
costive; the skin is dry and
hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with
yellow; the kidney secretlons
becomes scanty and high col
ored, depositing a sediment
after standing. There Is fire.

After a few inquiries they were
ready. Pitts put the spurs and
whip to his horse and made a bold
dash for the trail. Alex. attempt
ed to follow suit. His horse would
not move foot.
In vain did Alex. dig into his
ribs, pet, coax, and scare. The
horse simply stood still. Alex.
looked up and saw Pitts clearing
a hill about two miles distant. No
time was to be lost. lie dismOunt-
ed, grasped a heavy stick, and re-
mounted. Getting a firm hold, he
dealt the horse a heavy blow on
the side of the head. The horse
hesitated no longer. With one
great lunge he started, but instead
offollowing the trail he made across
the plains.
A new difficulty now presented
itself. Alex. could not guide or
even check the horse. All he could
do was to keep a firm hold and
trust to luck, which he did with
good taste.
The horse was an old ranch
"hackr aud the way he would
clear a stream amazed Alex. Over
huge rocks, across sickly streams,
up hill and down, the beast would
fly, every moment increasing his
speed and energy.
Ten miles had been covered and
the horse was going at terrific
gait. Two miles more and for the
tenth time they gained a table
land. This time a large town came
in view, and to Alexis. delight, he
found it to be Pinto.
But where is Pitts : and how can
| stop this horse? we're two import
ant questions for Alex. to decide
He had not long to wait, for Pitts
dashed up from the trail and was
soon alongside Of him.
The race became exciting. The
white horse realized that he had a
rival and went to work in grand
style. Pitts applied both spur and
whip to his roam, but the white was
now leading, and still gaining.
The main street had been reach
ed and the white "hack' became
manageable. Pitts, seeing that il
was a question of horses, and not
riders, grew frantic in his efforts tc
push the roam ahead. The gallant
beast endeayored to make a grand
squirt, but it was too late. With a
sudden leap into the air, he fell
carrying along with him Pitts.
When Alex. had almost reached
the end of the street he discovered
Rosie leaning through the easement
of window evidently watching
for either Pitts or himself. As he
drew up he perceived the smile OF
satisfaction that played on her face
as she congratulated him on his
bold ride. The white horse, either
tired or satisfied with his work, be-
haved nicely on the return trip
OF course, Alex. did not tell any
one about his trip, but he bought
the old white horse and would ride
no other. Although severely hurt,
Mr.. Pitts was able to attend the
marriage of Alex. aud Rosie, which
occurred shortly afterwards.

The carelessness with which egg.
shells are thrown to fowls from the
kitchen after the contents have
been used, is frequently one cause
whereby hens that destroy their
newly laid eggs become addicted
to this very bad habit. When hens
have contracted this habit it is al
most impossible to break them of
it, and, what is worse, they will
teach other hens to do the same
thing. The best and surest remedy
is to wiring their necks and make a
pot.pie for dinner.

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE OF
ALTURAs COUNTY,
HALEY, IDAHO, Aug. 1887.
W. ". YEArEs. ESQ.,. Assessor and Collector of
Alturas County. Idaho Territory. Haley:
Yours requesting an opinion upon
Section 1910 of the Revised Laws of
Idaho, in reference to the collection
of delinquent taxes, received.
That section reads as follows: "All
taxes assessed before this Code takes
effect must be collected under the
laws in force at the time the assess.
ment was made, and in the same
manner as if this Code had not been
passed"
A large proportion for this year
was assessed before the first day of
June, the day upon which the new
law went into operation. A portion
of the taxes, however, vera assessed
since the LIST day of June, A. D. 1887.
Under the law as it was prior to June
LIST, taxes became delinquent on the
second Monday in November, and
after becoming delinquent a penalty
of Is per cent. was added.
Under the law that became opera
tive June 1st, taxes become delinquent
on the second Monday of December,
and when delinquent a penalty of 10
per cent. is added.
Now let us apply Section 171O. 1t
means that the taxes assessed before
June LIST must be collected under that
law-"the law in force at the time the
assessment was made"-and if such
taxes become delinquent, they must
be collected under the law and in the
same manner as if the Code had not
been passed.
If those who were assessed before
June LIST permit their taxes to become
delinquent on the second Mon lay in
November, they must pay the Is per
cent. penalty, and those subsequent
to June LIST, if delinquent on the sec
ond Monday in December, must pay
the 10 per cent. penalty.
However anomalous this may ap.
pear, such is the plain mandate Of
the law.
l understand the practise of your
Office has been to notify, by card
those who owe taxes. 1t is suggested
that said notification contain the time
when the assessment was made, wher
the tax becomes delinquent and the
penalty in each particular case.
Your obedient servant,
GEO. H. ROBERTS,
District ATTORNEY.
